[Say hello to Peggy, sitting at a console with what looks like the designs of a Fire Sector suite in the background. For the tech savvy, the console address is traceable to Steve Rogers.]
I hope those displaced from the Earth Sector fire have found a place to stay until the suites can be rebuilt or new homes. Fortunately, it looks as if the damage was contained before it spread too far. I think this situation is exactly the sort of thing a council for us ‘foreigners’ would be good for, and I mean in the sense of checking the damages, injuries, and helping people find temporary lodgings.
[Not necessarily hunting down perpetrators. And she has her suspicions on what might have started it, but that is not going out publicly. So on a different note!]
Though we can all understand the spoken word and each other here, I’ve found that’s not the case with the written. I’ve started making efforts to crack the kedan language, as it were, but there’s very little to help along these lines. Picking up words on signs is one thing, but a grasp of the grammar and structure is another.
Has anyone else been trying to do the same? I’m not sure much more will be possible unless we find the kedan version of a Rosetta Stone, to be honest.

[she’s not worried about it being hacked, but she’s not interested in attempting to publicly ping someone for a one-on-one conversation either.] Favrielle, I’d like to commission you once more. Would you prefer discussion in person?
[And then text;]
[written in German, because testing the feature:] If you can understand this, please respond.

You do strike me as the more upfront type. [Not that this is a bad thing. See: Steve Rogers] And that's important too.
Practice makes perfect, I suppose.

That's one way of looking at it. Mostly I'm just glad the Yakuza don't have more of a foothold, my Japanese is atrocious.

I haven't learned any Asian languages yet. All my work's been related to Europe, so that's been my priority.

I'll come to you for pointers if I ever need them.
Understandable, I was taught based on what I'd need for work, too. Though I did pick up some of the Somali language while I was over there.
I'd offer to teach you some Mandarin, but it's a lot more complicated than Interlac and I'd most likely make a mess of it.

You've got a more global variety on your belt. What brought you to Somaliland?
It's appreciated, but I'm not sure I'd need it just yet either, especially if that Interlac comes first.
